• They are odorless. They are used as carriers in essential oils. They are obtained by pressing, extraction, and maceration methods. Fixed oils are used alone. Depending on the properties of the oils, they are used internally and externally. Being a fixed oil, it leaves a stain when dropped.

Oil Extraction Methods

Cold Pressing

The process of crushing the seed parts of plants rich in fixed oil with the help of a press to extract their oil. In the cold press method, since the beneficial and valuable contents in the oil are not lost, the quality of the produced oil is high.

Steam Distillation

The process done with steam distillation; placing plants, fresh or dry, into a container with a separate basket inside, boiling the water below and passing it as steam through the plants, and then cooling this steam again to separate the essential oil and the water carrying the beneficial properties of the distilled plant, which is hydrosol (flower water).

Maceration

Maceration is oily mixtures prepared by letting herbal drugs, after being broken down, sit in a fixed oil for a period. It is a method of separating natural plant components that pass into the fixed oil.
